This is one of the best rubs I've made. I've made it 2x now. The 1st time I followed the recipe exactly ... it was very tasty, but a bit too spicy for my husband. The 2nd time, I cut the amount of cayenne in half (1/2 tsp), and added 1 tsp of chili powder, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and increased the brown sugar to 1 1/2 Tbsp. It was exactly what we were looking for.

I was just going to search for "rib rub" or similar, until my husband mentioned the best ribs he ever had were in Memphis, so I searched for "Memphis Rub" instead. I'm so glad only one recipe came up since I didn't have time to check out a bunch, read reviews, etc. This rub was fantastic! I didn't have the MSG & I'm not sure what it could have added to the flavor. I can't wait to try it on other meats! So all I can say is, "Thank you, thank you very much!" for a little taste of Memphis.

I am from Memphis. This was nice to find. Living up north they don't have many good BBQ places to eat. So, I have to do it myself.

This was awesome on the ribs I made this weekend. I made only a small change. I left out the MSG and I added a teaspon of chipotle pepper to give it some extra kick since we love spicy in my house. Family loved it! We usually have left overs but with this rub none were left. I will definitely use this again.

We omitted the MSG, cut the salt to 1tsp. & increased the garlic & onion powder (each by 1tsp.) We used the rub on ribs but will try it on chicken & fish, as well. Overall, a very good mix of spices.

I guess since I just made my second batch yesterday it's time for a review! This rub is fantastic. So far I've used it on grilled chicken breast, beef tenderloin, hamburgers, pork tenderloin, and salmon. I don't doubt that it's fabulous on ribs too. Like others, I omitted the MSG and used meat tenderizer instead. And you can always make it a bit peppier by increasing the cayenne and/or dry mustard. However, I have to disagree with one reviewer who said it was like the rub used by the Rendezvous restaurant in Memphis. If you like Rendezvous ribs then add a bunch of cumin and it'll be close. Thanks for a great recipe that also saves me a ton of money!

I omitted MSG (gives me migraines) and added meat tenderizer. The ribs were tender and everyone liked them!
